Note 191 — HUGO WOLF

Mary Blaiklock translation

Once we were also men Happy or sad like you; Now life is taken from us, We are only of earth, as you see. Chiunque nasce a morte arriva Nel fuggir del tempo, e'l sole Niuna cosa lascia viva.... Come voi, uomini fummo, Lieti e tristi, come siete; E or siam, come vedete, Terra al sol, di vita priva. (Poems of Michelangelo, CXXXVI.)
